Clear Legal is based in Surrey, British Columbia, with a second office in Vancouver. The firm started in 2009 as the Trial Lawyers Advocacy Group, founded by Thomas Harding, who has practiced law since 1990, has appeared at every level of court in British Columbia, has practiced in Alberta, and has written arguments for the Supreme Court of Canada. The firm took its current name, Clear Legal, in 2021. Its eight lawyers handle family law, personal injury, wills and estates, and civil litigation, and several of them, including Chris Carta, Johanna M. Stein, and Arsh Sarkaria, are accredited family law mediators or arbitrators who offer dispute resolution outside of court.
The firm also represents survivors of intimate partner violence in civil claims, an area that expanded after the Supreme Court of Canada recognized a new tort for intimate partner violence in its 2026 decision in Ahluwalia v. Ahluwalia. Its lawyers bring varied training: Arsh Sarkaria holds a law degree from Panjab University in India and a master's degree in intellectual property law from Munich, Germany, Geomar Lo earned a Juris Doctor at Thompson Rivers University and articled at a public interest legal clinic, and the team's languages between them include French, Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, German, Cantonese, and Mandarin.
